5 Tips to Get Rid of Shiny Skin

Shiny skin is never a very comfortable feeling. The T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) is the most affected, and all skin types can experience it. Excess sebum is not the only cause of this imbalance: when warm weather arrives, heat intensifies shine, and a diet that is too rich or an ill-suited skincare routine can also contribute. Discover our tips for a fresh complexion and shine-free skin, even in 30°C heat!

Deeply cleanse your skin

Daily cleansing is essential to remove impurities. Morning and evening, apply a gentle cleansing gel using small circular motions with your hands or a cleansing brush. Discover one of our best-sellers: the [Purity] Cleansing Gel.

Choose a suitable cream

Shiny skin can actually be a sign of dehydration, contrary to common belief. Dryness triggers excess sebum production. Combination to oily skin types should opt for a light, hydrating, mattifying cream such as [Aqua] Resource Jelly, while dry skin will benefit from a nourishing, hydrating cream like [Nutri+] Resource Cream.

Exfoliate

Choose a gentle exfoliant once a week to unclog pores and remove minor blemishes caused by excess sebum, such as pimples or blackheads, while enhancing the skin’s radiance. To combat shine, opt for the 2-in-1 [Purifying] Scrub with grains if your skin tends to be oily, or the [Comfort] Enzymatic Exfoliating Gel without grains for combination to dry skin.

Thoroughly remove makeup

Makeup removal is essential for healthy, beautiful skin. Algotherm’s OCEAN CLEANSE range includes the necessary first-step products for all skin types: 3-in-1 Micellar Water, 3-in-1 Cleansing Oil, and Detox Micellar Mousse. Find the one that suits you best and adopt a double-cleansing routine! To keep skin breathing, also choose a lightweight base and a mineral powder or foundation.

Eat healthily

Increasingly, skin beauty is linked to nutrition. Your diet plays a major role in skin quality. Avoid sugary drinks, processed meats, or overly fatty fish like salmon, and favor detoxifying foods! Also, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated throughout the day. By following these simple daily tips, you’ll quickly see results!
